Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions which provide UV protection to the skin when applied. In certain embodiments, the present disclosure comprises one or more mineral sunscreens formulas.

Abstract: In certain aspects, the present disclosure relates to sunless tanning compositions and methods for using the same. It has been found that using a combination of water soluble silicones and/or water dispersible silicones may improve the deposition of certain cosmetic ingredients and/or form a protective layer over certain cosmetic ingredients. Such improved sunless tanning compositions may reduce perception of a tacky or sticky feeling after deposition of the sunless tanning composition.

Abstract: Sunless tanning compositions and methods for using the same are described herein. Such compositions may include sunless tanning ingredients such as dihydroxyacetone. Additional colorants may also be included. These additional colorants are preferably caramel colorants, particularly those in Class IV such as DSL4. It was found that the additional coloring enhancers of the present disclosure unexpectedly contributed to the immediate and long-term color development of a suntanned appearance on skin even after these water-soluble colorants were washed off of skin.
